Hisoft Pascal

2 bytes removed, 00:23, 24 April 2016
A [[:Category:PASCAL|Pascal]] compiler from [[Hisoft]]. Two versions of this Pascal were made. Original version [[Hisoft Pascal 4T]], (Tape) aka Hisoft Pascal (Disc) or Hisoft Pascal 4D was distributed through [[AMSOFT]]. It was designed to compile executable code through [[Locomotive BASIC]] RUN"<filname>" statement. Programs produced seem to be of a good size, though files are large due to one a Runtime Library (approx 5 or 6Kb) which needs to be included with the binary program in order for the program to function. Other languages such as Borland's "[[Turbo Pascal]]" also shared the same thing, where a large library gets placed into generated COM files.
[[Hisoft Pascal 80]] was later released through [[Hisoft]] on Disc and operated though CP/M, though program files could be converted to run in Hisoft Pascal 4T. Hisoft Pascal 80 was written for the purpose of producing CP/M 2.2 programs and CP/M Plus programs as well as allow support to GSX.
